The following ts the Weather Bureau's weekly sum mary of crop conditions: While the week has been abnormally cool in the upper Mississippi and Mis souri Valleys, with frcsts more or less 'damaging- In ..the Missouri Valley, the femperattfre conditions as a whole have been favorable, but the area needing rain is much greater than in the previous week and the effects of drought more serious, especially in the Gulf States. In the Southern States the corn crop is very uneven, has made slow gpowth, ard is generally in need of rain, although showers have afford ed relief in sections. Seeding of oats continues in the ex treme Northern districts, and harvest ing has begun in Texas and Florida, 6ver the greater part of the Southern States the crop has suffered much from drought and is now needing rain in the lower Missouri valley. In the western and central portions and over a considerable area in the eastern part of the cotton belt rain is much needed for cotton. That planted since the cold of the latter part of April has germinated poorly, the stands being very irregular and un satisfactory eenerallv throughout the central and western districts. Tobacco is doing well in Florida. Transplanting is about finished in South Carolina, has made rapid pro gress in North Carolina and prepara tion for this work is well advanced in Maryland, Virginia and Tennessee. Plants are generally plentiful and al though small in some sections, nave PAYING MEXiCO-3 SOLDIERS. When the Private's There Is Little Silver Left. "Things have greatly improved 'for the private soldier in the Mexican army of late," said a resident of New Orleans whose business takes him frequently into the sister republic, "but only a few years ago he had a pretty rough time of It, and as for his pay well, I'll tell you a little story that covers the ground fair ly well. On one occasion I spent several months in a small town in the northern part .of the country where a regiment of infantry was temporarily in barracks. Of course I got well acquainted with all the officers from the colonel down and found them, without exception, royal good fellows. But the poor soldiers were as tough looking a lot of scarecrows as I ever laid eyes on. Their uniforms were in rags and tatters, half of them were barefooted, and the other half had no hats, while their arms and accouterments were in a condition to match. "The paymaster used to get around about every two months, and his arrival would be a signal for great excitement at the barracks. He did his business, however, entirely with the colonel and after inspecting the rolls would place a cartain sum of money in that dignitary's hands, dine formally with the whole staff and take his departure. Next day the colonel would call in the captains of the several companies and give each of them a bag of dollars. The captains would thereupon summon the lieutenants, who, in turn, would send for the sergeants, I and thus the money would glide down the line until it nnany reached the corporals, who did the actual paying off of the men. "How it happened I don't undertake to l - V J. m ,1 1 say, but wim eacn transier tne casn in variably suffered a shrinkage. Perhaps It was due to abrasion. 'Anyhow, not more than a third ever reached the rank and file. That would have been bad enough, but in this regiment there was also a curious ebb tide, so to speak, that swept a good deal of the money back through the original channel of distribu tion. The whole crowd, from private to commander, were inveterate poker players; and by a mysterious freak of fate their ability was in almost exact ratio to their rank the old colonel being acknowledged champion of the department. "After pay day there was always a grand poker orgy, in which the noncom missioned officers usually cleaned out the Drivates. Then a few lieutenants would swoop down and wind up the 'noncoms, to get looted themselves by their cap tains, who invariably fell victims to the superior skill of the colonel. The result was that the unfortunate private never got over a third of his pay and never had that longer than 48 hours. He got it in the neck both 'comin and gwine,' 1 as the old darky remarked."
